The applications of hydrogels are restricted by their weak mechanical properties due to the inefficient dissipation of energy in their intrinsic structures. A double-network (DN) hydrogel has been developed by combining an ionically crosslinked agar network, a covalently crosslinked acrylic acid (AA...
